Does MK2 cupra turbo fit LCR??

[Willie]

Does anyone know about above?
Are they a straight swap?

If I recall the LCR is a 1.9T and totally different to the 2.0 TFSI in the new cupra so my guess would be no

It's a different question, but an interesting one. The 2.0T turbos have a combined manifold and turbine housing, so you'de have to change the whole manifold, not just the turbo.

Whether or not the 2.0T has the same port spacing, bolt pattern and mating surface, I don't know, but would doubt. You'd certainly have to change the dp and turbo inlet and outlet piping.

Whether there would be any gains, whether it would be laggy or not is anyne's guess.

You'd be looking at a world of pain, for sure.

That man is correct, Not only that, but its also a different kind of turbo, yes its a K04, but they come in many varients.
